On March 7, 2011, the members of the Leadership Development
and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Google Inc. (LDCC), determined the allocation of the discretionary bonus payment among Google’s executive officers under the Executive Bonus Plan (Plan). The Plan sets the maximum amount
payable to any one executive for the fiscal year 2010 at $4.5 million, and the LDCC has reserved the discretion to reduce or eliminate any actual award under the Bonus Plan. The table below sets forth the individual discretionary bonus payments to
Google’s named executive officers in recognition of the executive officers’ contributions to performance in fiscal year 2010:

Consistent with
Google’s equity granting practice, stock options and Google Stock Units (GSUs) in the ratio of two stock options for each GSU will be granted on April 6, 2011 (the first Wednesday of the month following the date on which the LDCC approved
the grant). The exact number of GSUs comprising the equity award will be calculated by dividing the GSU grant value (which is equal to 5/9ths of the total value of the equity award) by the closing price of Google’s Class A common stock on
April 5, 2011. The exact number of stock options comprising the equity award will be calculated by dividing the option grant value (which is equal to 4/9ths of the total value of the equity award) by 40% of the closing price of Google’s
Class A common stock on April 5, 2011. All equity awards will be rounded up to the nearest whole share and will vest over a period of four years and nine months.
